DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 94-AGL-36]
Modification of Class D Airspace Areas; Detroit, MI, and Alton,
IL
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class D airspace area at Willow Run
Airport, Detroit, MI, and St. Louis Regional Airport, Alton, IL. The
Class D airspace area at Willow Run Airport, Detroit, MI, will be
modified by lowering the vertical limit of the Class D airspace area up
to but not including the base altitude of the overlying Detroit, MI,
Class B airspace area. The Class D airspace area description at St.
Louis Regional Airport, Alton, IL, will be modified by excluding that
airspace within the Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, MO, Class
B airspace area. Airspace reclassification has necessitated new
guidelines for depicting and describing Class D airspace area that
underlie Class B airspace areas. The intended effect is to eliminate
pilot confusion by modifying the controlled airspace areas at Willow
Run Airport, Detroit, MI, and St. Louis Regional Airport, Alton, IL.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, July 20, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On January 6, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify the Class D
airspace area at Willow Run Airport, Detroit, MI, and St. Louis
Regional Airport, Alton, IL (60 FR 2043). No comment objecting to the
proposal were received.
The coordinates for this airspace docket as based on North American
Datum 83. Class D airspace designations are published in Paragraph 5000
of FAA Order 7400.9B dated July 18, 1994, and effective September 16,
1994, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
modifies the Class D airspace areas at Willow Run Airport, Detroit, MI,
and St. Louis Regional Airport, Alton, IL. The Class D airspace area at
Willow Run Airport, Detroit, MI, will be modified by lowering the
vertical limited of the Class D airspace area up to not including the
base altitude of the overlying Detroit, MI, Class B airspace area. The
Class D airspace area description at St. Louis Regional Airport, Alton,
IL, will be modified by excluding that airspace within the Lambert-St.
Louis International Airport, MO, Class B airspace area. Airspace
reclassification, effective September 16, 1993, has necessitated new
guidelines for depicting and describing Class D airspace areas that
underlie Class B airspace areas. The intended effect is to eliminate
pilot confusion by modifying the controlled airspace areas at Willow
Run Airport, Detroit, MI, and St. Louis Regional Airport, Alton, IL.
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for the frequent and routine
amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. It,
therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only effect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
